Belarus and Russia will ensure security of the citizens of the two countries by joint efforts, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said at a press conference for the Russian regional mass media, reported Belta.
"This issue is on top of the agenda: how to meet the challenges and threats and what we will be doing in the foreseeable future so that we are not reproached for disproportionality. We will respond and it should not be a secret. At the same time, however, we will respond proportionally, adequately to protect the interests of our countries and our peoples," the Head of State noted.
